Living in Stommeer, Aalsmeer
Stommeer is one of the larger residential neighbourhoods of Aalsmeer and lies west of the centre, wedged between the Ringvaart, the Stommeerkade and the Westeinderplas. It is a neighbourhood with a predominantly quiet, village-like character. Here you will find a mix of post-war terraced houses from the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by newer homes and some apartment complexes from later construction periods. The streets are relatively wide, there is plenty of greenery, and you notice that it is not city-like hustle and bustle. Resident Ria Scheewe sums it up well: "It is a nice neighbourhood with the Westeinderplas around the corner. Beautiful nature. And quiet. Little trouble from aircraft."
Anyone looking for a rental home in Stommeer will end up in a neighbourhood where the average age is on the higher side: the largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old.

Sports facilities are plentiful: De Waterlelie swimming pool is nearby, and the Westeinderplas offers opportunities for water sports, swimming and walking. The Seghwaertpark and the greenery around the old bus station (which has been transformed into a small park) make the neighbourhood attractive for walkers and dog walkers. Resident Wilma specifically mentions: "Green and the old bus station has become nicely green. Pity that a bench is missing."

Does Stommeer suit you as a tenant?
Renting a home in Stommeer is particularly interesting for families, older couples and single people who value peace and greenery more than a bustling nightlife. The neighbourhood is child- and dog-friendly, with safe traffic streets and play areas. Seniors who want to downsize do face a problem: the switch from a spacious housing association home to a smaller rental home often means a significant rent increase, as resident Carla emphasises.
